How to Solve the Trolley Problem: A Jewish Ethical Perspective

In this episode of Dear Rabbi, I tackle the famous philosophical trolley dilemma from a Jewish perspective. I analyze Jewish law and the Talmud and explain why Judaism's approach might surprise those who take a utilitarian view. I explore why sacrificing one life to save many - whether through pulling a lever or pushing someone off a bridge - goes against Jewish ethical teachings. Drawing from the Mishna and Jerusalem Talmud, I share how Judaism values each life equally and absolutely, regardless of the mathematical logic of saving more lives.
